The Help

        As I am skimming throw the channels on television; I come across a movie called "The
Help". I had no idea what it was about; so I questioned whether or not to watch this movie. Because I usually only watch movies I know about from advertised previews. So my curiosity got to me, and I ended watching “The Help". The movie was empowering, humorous, and full of heart. I have seen so many movies; however you do not always come across movies that you would want to rematch continuously. This movie is mind blowing and has a way of bringing warmth in your heart.

      Characters are an important aspect to making a great movie. "The Help" is an outstanding
example of great actors. To me you shouldn't see the actor; the actors should shoe the true inter-character they are. That's what this movie provides; you do not see actors. You see who they are "Ordinary people". You can see in their face and hear in their voices that they believe. All characters had hope, faith, and spirit and had their heart on their sleeves. Skeeter is an ambitious girl, who never gives up. Mini and Abillean were string willing and humorous. Miss Hilly was an ignorant. Stuck up girl. Sisillia Foots was a bundle joy and May Mobally is a cute piglet. In one of the scenes, you see how genuine all the characters are to each other. You can feel the love and warmth from each character.  You don’t see any characters trying to out shine the others. You see them all treat each character with the same respect. So this story has a great way of showing how each and every single character has a meaning to the movie. They all bring something to the movie. It does not focus on one character; it has the focus on every single individually without it confusing the whole plot and conclusion.

            An outstanding movie is o e that speaks to your heart. A movie that is life changing and that makes you appreciate things more than you did. "Turning over a new leaf" is what this movie brings to my attention. This movie at tines can be emotional, and brings tears if joy. "The Help" is also based on true events; so the message is overpowering. It shows you not to give up in what you believe in and most importantly yourself. The movie is so true and it is disturbing on how people can mistreat others and take precious things away from them.  This movie can make you smile, laugh, tear up an make you think what is important in life. But no matter what this movie will touch your heart.

          A great movie most of all must have a good purpose, plot and conclusion. This movie is based off a book; and usually the movies do not follow up on the book as much as this movie does. The movies tend to be choppy and just has you confused on what really happened, how everything started out. "The Help" movie played smoothly, all events were organized perfectly, almost as the book. Usually movies do not have as much time as a book does in portraying the interior story. But this movie ended up having time and patients to tie everything in all together. Of course the movie did leave some things out but it still manages to keep in the key events in it. The movie is well directed that you understand exactly what is happening.

           I would recommend this movie to anyone I know. The movie is just pure genius filled with faith, love and humor. What is there not to like about "The Help". It's a heartwarming movie that makes you smile from one cheek to the other. You'll have the urge to view it over and over again. It also had a wide range of categories in it. It is not just a love story; it is humorous sad and adventurous. It all plays well together. Some people can even relate to it.  We all have life changing stories but "The Help" has a way of making you appreciate life itself. 

              “The Help” is an enjoyable movie to watch. I have never come across a movie with so much love and energy in a film. It will have you laugh and cry at the same time, and yet the meaning behind it is so powerful. That is what makes this movie so inspiring. This movie provides a great group of actors, and has amazing purpose. This movie is a great example of what all great movies should be like.
